• Operate and maintain survey equipment (total stations, GPS/GNSS receivers, robotic instruments, laser levels)
• Process field survey data and prepare as-built drawings using CAD/Carlson survey software
• Import, manage, and implement survey data to support construction layout and use by site crews
• Prepare and maintain survey records, field notes, and as-built documentation
• Coordinate with Project Managers, Superintendents, and foremen to confirm layout requirements and resolve field discrepancies
• Support quality control by verifying work is constructed to line, grade, and design specifications
• Maintain calibration and proper working condition of all survey instruments
